I thought it was a clickbait at first, but to be honest, the first paragraph sounds sadly true to me. I have been a CTO and co-founder and loved coding that way, because it was a highly creative job, in which my brain was used for many other things than coding.
But now, I'm looking for a new job, and what I feel with permanent positions as a full stack developer I'm applying for, is that business/management people are looking for nerdy people to EXECUTE their visions ("heyyyy we need a ninja hacker, you'll have free beers and pizzas !").
Sometimes I have the feeling that if I introduce myself as a developer, I look like 10 times worse than what I actually am.
PS: I'm not living in California, developers are not considered rockstars everywhere in the world, unfortunately.
